Hurricanes goalie Pyotr Kochetkov leads a 3-1 win over the Bruins and delivers a “no surprises” message to the league.

​Forwards Matěj Blümel and Riley Tufte were recalled from Providence, while Viktor Arvidsson and Casey Mittelstadt were placed on injured reserve with their respective lower-body injuries. Charlie McAvoy will also be sidelined, head coach Marco Sturm said. The defenseman took a puck to the face on Saturday in Montreal.​

The Bruins stayed even for a period, but the Hurricanes scored two goals in the second period and Boston spent the rest of the game trying to dig out and fell, 3-1. The loss snapped Jeremy Swayman’s perfect November, ending his streak at five games and the Bruins’ home winning streak at six.

RECAP: Fresh off a gutsy road win, the Bruins returned to Boston for a Monday night head-to-head with the Hurricanes at TD Garden.

Carolina's bottom-six ignited a dominant win, showcasing impressive offensive depth. Kochetkov's shutout bid was cruelly denied with seconds left.

​Boston was also skating shorthanded. Regular veterans like Charlie McAvoy, Viktor Arvidsson and Elias Lindholm were all sidelined with injury, making room for Providence call-ups Riley Tufte and Matěj Blümel to make their season debut. It takes time, however, for things to seamlessly come together.​

Jeremy Swayman and the Bruins were haunted by an old friend in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Hurricanes at TD Garden.

Carolina Hurricanes (49-22-7, second in the Metropolitan Division) vs. Boston Bruins (46-17-15, first in the Atlantic Division) Boston; Tuesday, 7 p.m. EDT BOTTOM LINE: The Boston Bruins play the Carolina Hurricanes with a four win streak intact.

A tepid, tired, too-blah-for-Boston second, with the Bruins outshot, 13-7, and outscored, 2-0, set the stage for the loss.
